Chapter 309: Exposed
It turned out that when Wang Yue'e was a child, her mother Lin once had a doll kiss with someone. The other party was the Li family, a big family in Rongzhou City, and there were countless fields in the family. But it didn't take long for the family to fall into the middle of the road because of some things, and the people in the family died, and they left, leaving only the young master of the Li family and a small servant who had made a family relationship with Wang Yue.
After that, the Wang family went to Yuejing to stay for a few years, and after coming back again, the Lin family had completely forgotten about this matter. But this time, the news of Wang Yue'e's marriage somehow reached the ears of the broken young master of the Li family, and he appeared in the Wang family compound the day after he got the news.
Originally, there was nothing, and the marriage match was a good match, since the gap between the two sides is so big now, it is not impossible for the Wang family to directly withdraw from this family business. But when the pit was decided earlier, the Lin family received one hundred taels of silver, and since they wanted to return their relatives, the money must be returned in full.
But the Wang family is really not a big family, and when she asked the Lin family to take out a hundred taels of silver to return it to others, she began to hesitate. In fact, the Lin family has already thought of a countermeasure, that "Ling Yu" doesn't have money, since he wants to marry her daughter, this only one hundred taels is nothing to him.
But in the past few days, "Ling Yu" has evaporated like the world, and has not appeared in their house at all, and the down-and-out young master of the Li family has been urging to reply, and the Lin family is a little uncomfortable being attacked by such two ends, so she began to start from her daughter, and every day when she saw Wang Yue'e, she began to nag, forcing her to find "Ling Yu" and quickly give the money to the young master of the Li family.
On the one hand, she was annoyed by her mother's nagging, and on the other hand, she was also worried that "Ling Yu" would backtrack and not marry her. After Wang Yue'e endured it for a few days, she finally couldn't stand it today, and came to Manfulou to try her luck, but she was thin-skinned and didn't dare to appear at the gate, just waited at the side door in the backyard, hoping to meet "Ling Yu". If God really has eyes, she really met her.
But today's attitude towards her made Wang Yue'e a little unhappy.
It is said that businessmen value profit over separation, although "Ling Yu" is very good to her. But I spend all day socializing with those businessmen. Wang Yue'e is worried that he has also been contaminated with the vice of lingering in Fireworks Willow Lane, and even has a new love outside.
"Yue'e, don't worry, when did I deceive you. You go back first. I'll go to you when I'm done talking. β
Although Gu Xiaoshu tried his best to remain calm. But there was already an urgent emotion in his voice.
"Boss, I've searched it all, but there's nothing at all."
"Wait. There's a doorway here......"
The backyard gets noisy.
"Yue'e, that's the first thing, I'm leaving......"
Ignoring Wang Yue'e's surprise, Gu Xiaoshu pulled out his legs and ran down the street.
"There's someone hereβ"
A small group of catchers had already rushed out, and when they saw Gu Xiaoshu running out, they felt very suspicious, so they quickly chased after him, and after a while, they surrounded him.
"May I ask you, masters, is there anything wrong?"
Gu Xiaoshu, who was trapped in the middle, pretended to be calm.
"What are you running?!"
One of the leaders said quickly.
"I ran because I was in a hurry to do something."
Gu Xiaoshu said, and glanced at Wang Yue, who was walking this way.
God forbid, don't let him make a fool of himself in front of Wang Yue.
"Is that really the case?"
Catch Kuai with a look of disbelief.
"It's true, Lord Official, if you don't believe it, you can ask her."
Gu Xiaoshu pointed to Wang Yue, who was walking this way with an anxious face.
"Who are you?"
After listening to Gu Xiaoshu's words, he turned around and looked at Wang Yue'e who came over and asked.
"Uh...... We are...... Friend. β
has never spoken to Zhu Kuai, and Wang Yue'e is embarrassed.
"I can testify that he does have something urgent to do, and he said that he was in a hurry when you didn't come out just now, and it wasn't because you showed him up that he ran away."
After a pause, as if she had summoned up great courage, Wang Yue'e finally said it neatly.
"Oh?"
Seeing Wang Yue'e say this, the catcher looked at her with interest.
"Official, I'm really in a hurry."
Gu Xiaoshu hurriedly spoke, trying to divert the attention of that quick catcher away from Wang Yue'e.
"What's your name?"
Sure enough, he quickly fell on Gu Xiaoshu's body again.
"Gu ......"
"His name is Ling Yu, he is the son of the richest man in Yuejing, and he is definitely not the person you are looking for."
Gu Xiaoshu hadn't finished speaking, and Wang Yue'e snatched the words directly.
As soon as he heard this, Gu Xiaoshu's entire face darkened.
"The son of the richest man in Yuejing? That's right, we are looking for the son of the richest man in Yuejing. β
The one who spoke showed a disdainful expression and looked at Gu Xiaoshu with a smile.
Although Ling Yu, the son of Ling Dafu, the richest man in Yuejing, has been very famous in Rongzhou City in the past few months, they have almost always stayed in the yamen in shifts around the clock, with little contact with the outside world, and they have no chance to meet the legendary Ling Yu, so although they were ordered to go to Manfu Mansion to arrest this person, no one recognized Ling Yu's appearance.
In fact, there is a mistake in this. In the past, when there was an urgent arrest operation, when it was too late to paint a portrait, they would usually bring someone who recognized the face of the person they wanted to arrest, but this morning they came out in too much hurry and forgot about it. Just when she was at a loss, Wang Yue's words just resolved this difficulty, and the leading catcher felt that he had to thank her well.
"Why did you arrest him? He's Ling Yu. β
I don't know where the courage came from, Wang Yue, who has always been weak, suddenly said loudly.
"Why? Aren't you two friends? He didn't sue you? β
The other one looked at Wang Yue'e with a playful face.
Such a look made Wang Yue'e feel very uncomfortable, as if she was a woman in a green house who could do her best.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have I committed something? Why are you arresting me? β
Gu Xiaoshu asked with a calm face.
The look in his eyes was firm, as if he was really innocent.
"What happened? You ask me? β
The previous leader asked quickly.
"Don't talk to him. Take him straight away. β
Without waiting for Gu Xiaoshu to answer, the leader of the hunt quickly ordered.
There was another noise in the alley, and Gu Xiaoshu was escorted out of the alley by two arresters.
"Ling Yuβ"
Wang Yue'e stood still and shouted at the top of her voice.
"It's fine. You go back first. β
Hearing the voice, Gu Xiaoshu turned his head and smiled in the direction where Wang Yue'e was standing at the end of the alley.
Sure enough, he should have made up his mind earlier, and now it is estimated that it is too late.
It was almost noon, and the teahouse was full of people. The sound of boiling and noisy mixing with the heat wave that constantly invades the road surface. Ye Xiaoyu felt like a dead fish steamed on a steaming board.
"Little two. Why haven't you served the dishes after ordering them for so long? β
A dissatisfied voice came from the lobby seat.
"It's coming, it's coming, and the guest dish will be ready immediately."
Ye Xiaoyu replied and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Nima, it's already overwhelmingly hot. I am constantly being urged by others. Ye Xiaoyu felt that her life span was half short.
"This dish is so hot. How do you tell us to eat?! β
Finally finished the dish, and the people in the private seat looked at the steaming dish and began to frown and dislike it again.
How to eat?
Eat it with your mouth.
Ye Xiaoyu rolled her eyes in her heart.
"This dish is freshly cooked. It may be a little hot, but our private room is well ventilated, and it will get cold after a while. β
Although there was a hundred reluctance in his heart, Ye Xiaoyu still explained with a smile on his face.
"Alright, let's get out of here. It's useless to tell you. β
The fat-headed, big-eared guest said with a look of disdain.
Since it's useless, then you still talk so much about the fuck?
If it weren't for the sake of making a little money, Ye Xiaoyu would have wanted to put the plate of serving vegetables directly on his fat pig-like head.
After coming out of the seat, Ye Xiaoyu held her breath and was about to walk to the door to breathe, but saw the junior official hurriedly coming in outside.
"Junior officer, are you back? How's things going? β
As soon as he saw the junior official, Lu Tiangui, who was standing in front of the counter, asked with concern.
It is said to be a teahouse, but it is not quiet at all, and the lobby is noisy like a vegetable market.
The junior official leaned over and muttered a few words in Lu Tiangui's ear, because the surroundings were too noisy, Ye Xiaoyu didn't hear anything.
"Really?"
After listening, Lu Tiangui looked surprised.
"Hmm."
The junior officer walked to the side and nodded.
I guess it's done, right? Thinking like this, Ye Xiaoyu also walked over.
"Xiaoyu, it's hot, right?"
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu using the tray as a fan while walking, Lu Tiangui laughed.
"It's dead."
Ye Xiaoyu replied and stood still in the closest place to the door.
"Junior officer, are you here?"
Ye Xiaoyu asked casually.
Because of Ling Yu, she had to care about the progress of this matter.
"How's it going?"
Seeing that the junior official didn't pay attention to him, Ye Xiaoyu came closer, looked at Lu Tiangui and asked in a low voice.
"It's finished."
No matter what the petty official's attitude towards Ye Xiaoyu was, the reason why this matter was successful was because of the advice she proposed, so Lu Tiangui ignored the petty official's dissatisfaction and directly said the result.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't ask any more, turned around and continued to stand facing the door. As long as this fake Ling Yu is caught, then this matter is half completed, and the next thing, Ye Xiaoyu plans to go to the yamen to investigate.
Ling Yu, you see, even if you are thousands of miles away, I can still thank you.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but have a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth.
In the alley at the back door of Manfu Building, Wang Yue'e was still standing there, looking sluggish, not knowing where to go.
Today's sudden situation made her unable to react, according to common sense, it is very unlikely that the yamen will arrest people for no reason, but Ling Yu is just doing business, how can he be arrested? Could it be that he offended someone who mattered? (To be continued......)
